I got my blue FUV at the end of December. Already have over 600 miles on it. I work from home, so that is just random errands. Wish I had doors. But happy otherwise.

  Wheel Marker Blinker
Posted by: Odi - 04-02-2023, 05:54 AM - Forum: Upgrades and Options - No Replies

I've had several close calls where someone changes into the lane I'm changing into from the opposite lane, directly into my blind spot. I think the rear signal at the brake lights may be harder to notice from the side, so I wanted to have my wheel markers blink as well.

Inspired by Charlie Gray's posts on Facebook, who wired the wheel markers directly to the HMLL and HMLR gray connectors available in the Evergreen to convert them into signal lights, I looked for a way to still have the wheel markers on while not using my signal. The answer came in automotive SPDT relays, which I could use the normally closed lead to have the usual wheel marker connection, and then use the HMLL and HMLR to trigger the relay and open the connection.

One issue with this is that the hazard lights make the wheel markers blink. So I used a second relay from HMLL (and HMLR) with the normally closed connected to the first relay's trigger, and this second relay is triggered by a switch on my handlebar. If the switch is off, I get the wheel markers off when the signal is on, and the wheel markers on when the signal is off. If the switch is on, then the HMLL (and HMLR) is no longer connected to the first relay's trigger, and I have the original stock behavior.



First 15 seconds shows my new normal behavior of the wheel markers and signals alternating
0:16 is when I turn on the switch on my handlebar to restore factory behavior
Most of the video shows the FUV's factory behavior of signals and hazard lights
0:46 is when I turn off the switch on my handlebar
The last few seconds show why I needed to install the second relay to fix the hazard lights

Between this, Aptera having some issues getting funding to start production, and Arcimoto's own financial issues; it's looking like the 3-wheeler EV market might not last much longer.  Sad

Hello,

I have a 2022 FUV, and I might need to sell it.  Is AutoTrader the best option? 

I live in Mesquite, NV, and the FUV is in the garage.

Ideas?

Thanks

Ron

Took 2 hours to get my tag at MD motor vehicles, apparently MD spelled Arcimoto without the "i"  and it couldn't be found in the computer.
But I've got my tag and took it for a short run today.
If anyone has a suggestion for doors I would love to hear it.
God bless all FUVers!!

  Battery discharge and long term storage
Posted by: Epirali - 11-17-2022, 10:49 PM - Forum: Technical Discussion - Replies (5)

Hi there, new to forum and didn't see anything about this. I seem to notice a slow but steady discharge when the FUV is just parked (no temperature change). I would hazard a guess its about 1% per day or two. With the exception of Teslas which have a high self discharge rate and can not be left without being plugged in most other EVs show very little discharge when off and I usually leave my EVs around 40-50% if storing for 4-8 weeks.

But it seems with the Arcimoto that won't be a great idea. I know manual says just leave it plugged it and let it manage itself, so that is what I will do over winter. But ideally it would have been great to leave around 50% for "ideal" conditions.

Anyone else notice this and what do you tend to do?

  Hello from Maryland
Posted by: Epirali - 11-07-2022, 11:41 PM - Forum: Introduce Yourself - No Replies

Hi there, I placed a deposit back in 2015 when they first announced the Arcimoto. I was joking with a friend that it will never come to Maryland and next day I got the e-mail that it was approved and available. A little over a week later I am driving around in the last great few days here and loving it!

I am a big EV enthusiast and have had many EVs, but obviously this is something else.

Now if only I could get some doors....
